What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan.
Hi: I have been working for an automobile company for more than 11+ years as a direct employee and 18+ years including time as consultant. As my mother is ill and needed support, I have had to go on FMLA. Now, I am told that FMLA is valid only for 3 months and that I have to report to work by mid October or my employment will be terminated. My mother is still not well and doctors think, it will atleast 3 more months before she will be better.
Now I am at a loss:
1. Since I have already started FMLA - would I be able to continue the same for longer period? Are there any exceptions in the law that I can use?
2. Are there any other alternatives to extend the leave and still hold to the job?
Any replies will be appreciated vey much.
Thanks,
Michael
